Burnt out by long hours and living a life that doesn't fulfil her dreams, Alice returns home to Yorkshire.  Her childhood home brings complicated family dynamics, a rediscovery of her passion for stargazing and two new friends: Berti, a boy who finds it easier to count the stars than interact with people, and Matt, her brother's best friend and Alice's teenage crush.

One Day and Forever by Shari Low #Review

 

One Day and Forever by Shari Low was published by Boldwood Books on January 25th. 


As dawn breaks, four people are planning journeys that could change their lives forever…

Kara McIntyre is supposed to be jetting off to her destination wedding in Hawaii. However, a last-minute hitch appears to have left her without a job, home and, more importantly, a fiancé.

TV sensation Ollie Chiles and Kara always have each other’s backs. But when his wife goes viral in a compromising clinch with another man, Ollie must choose between supporting his best friend in her hour of need or going home to save his marriage.

Alice Brookes is flying away to a new life after surviving a horrendous marriage and a very public scandal... until a stranger brings a letter from the past that could change everything.

After saying goodbye to someone he loves, Zac Conlan should be heading back to Dublin. Now a shocking discovery is threatening to change his plans and his future.

When weather delays their flights, Kara, Ollie, Alice and Zac discover that storms are brewing… and the turbulence is about to shake their worlds.


 

My Thoughts

In some ways, this continues the story after Shari Low's One Long Weekend. You can read my review here. Alice Brookes has spent time getting over the marriage which has blighted her life and is preparing to fly off to a new life. It is a whole new start for her but she knows that she is going to miss her friends who have supported her. Before she goes,ghosts from the past appear and rake up some long buried secrets. 

    I enjoyed meeting the new characters and thought that they were skilfully melded into the story in a convincing manner. Several are at crossroads in their life, with love, betrayal and reconciliation all on the cards. With story threads running through different generations, there is plenty of variety to keep you engrossed. They also have to work out who is genuine and who is putting on a false act.

In short: A day to change several lives.
